Abstract

The recently introduced technique, namely, the extended complex method, is used to explore exact solutions for the generalized fifth-order KdV equation. Appropriately, the rational, periodic, and elliptic function solutions are obtained by this technique. The 3D graphs explain the different physical phenomena to the exact solutions of this equation. This idea specifies that the extended complex method can acquire exact solutions of several differential equations in engineering. These results reveal that the extended complex method can be directly and easily used to solve further higher-order nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs). All computer simulations are constructed by maple packages.

1. Introduction

In the 20 century, nonlinear science (NLS) plays a significant role in special inventions, for example, the invention of the radio, the discovery of DNA structure for biology, the development of quantum theory for theoretical physics and chemistry, and the invention of transister for computer engineering. It is well known that NLS belongs to the NLPDEs which are introduced in several areas such as fluid thermodynamics, plasma diffusion, biology, physics, geometry, and population dynamics.

Lots of studies are focused on the differential equations [1–10], and many effective techniques are used to acquire analytical and numerical solutions for NLPDEs such as sine-cosine method [11], extended sinh-Gorden equation expansion method [12], variation iteration algorithm [13], homotopy perturbation method [14], F-expansion method [15], Exp-function expansion method [16], first integral method [17], Ansatz method [18], generalized Kudryashov method [19], -expansion method [20], projective Riccati equation method [21], tanh method [22], nonpolynomial spline method [23], B-spline method [24], B-spline collocation [25], Weierstrass elliptic function method [26], Laplace decomposition method [27], extended direct algebraic method [28, 29], Sub-ODE method [30], Darboux transformation [31], and extended tanh-coth method [32, 33]. The generalized fifth-order KdV equation [34] is represented by where , , , and are the arbitrary constants. This equation is a nonlinear model in many long wave physical phenomena. It is used in the shallow water wave with surface tension and magnetoacoustic wave in plasma. Several researchers have explored the analytical solutions of generalized fifth-order KdV equation such as Hedli and Kadem have attained a new analytical solution for the fifth-order KdV equation by the exponential expansion method [35]. Dinarvand et al. have found approximate analytical solutions of the sawada-kotera and Lax’s fifth-order KdV equations by homotopy analysis technique [36]. Salas and Lugo have introduced extended tanh method to obtain the exact solutions of the general fifth-order KdV equation [37]. Alam and Xin et al. have attained new exact solutions by -expansion method of modified KdV-Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation [38]. Ganji and Abdollahzadeh have introduced the sech method and rational exp-function method to find the exact traveling wave solutions of the Lax’s seventh-order KdV equation [39].

In the present work, our main purpose is to calculate the generalized fifth-order KdV equation by the extended complex method based on the concept of Yuan et al. [40–46]. It is a remarkable approach to attain exact analytical solutions. Our technique would be potentially applied to various processes of the engineering field. This article is organized as mentioned as follows. In Section 2, methods and materials are described. In Section 3, the application of the introduced method is determined. Section 4 deals with physical phenomena of important results. The comparison and conclusions are explained in Section 5.

(4), if we can find distinct Laurent singular parts: then the weak condition of Eq. (4) holds. Weierstrass elliptic function with double periods of the equation is given as below: and the addition formula is mentioned as below:

Step 4. Putting the indeterminate forms into Eq. (4); hence, the number of equations is computed by adjusting the coefficient to zero. These algebraic equations are calculated by the source of maple. Equation (9) is the elliptic solution with pole at , where are attained by (4), , . Equation (10) is the rational function, and Eq. (11) is the exponential function which are denoted as , and they have distinct poles of multiplicity .

Step 5. The meromorphic solutions are got with the arbitrary pole. Substitute inverse transformation into meromorphic solutions; then, we obtain the exact analytical solutions of NLPDEs.
